The incident in 2023
On Sept. 5, 2023, Davenport Police were called to a Davenport address after a parent found nude images of their 13-year-old child, according to arrest affidavits.
Marchant “did knowingly place a hidden camera inside the bedroom of a child between the ages of 11-13 years old,” police say in affidavits. “This camera was in a USB charging station, and the victim was unaware of the camera being there.”
The parent reviewed Marchant’s cell phone, “where images of the victim in a state of partial and full nudity were discovered. These images were on the device with two different dates in June of 2022.”
Marchant, who is being held without bond in Scott County Jail, is set for sentencing July 3 in Scott County Court.
